• "Seemed to me they went together, that's why I
hung up those two signs side by side.
"That sign about Truform selling only to ethical
appliance dealers — that's the policy that helps
to keep me in business. It's one big reason why I
carry only the Truform line — that, plus the
satisfaction their quality appliances always give.
"And speaking of quality, I guess that sort of
explains why I hung up the other sign beside
Truform's. I never could feel right about fitting
anything but the best, and I've always found that
the best is worth a fair price. So I never did put
in any low-price lines, because I never saw
one that was any better quality than its prices
indicated.
"Yes, sir, I'm going to keep going along with
Truform."
